Let's say, tomorrow, China or Russia announced their knowledge and evidence of intelligent extraterrestrials. What would be the worldwide reaction? Also, take the top 10 power countries in the world who have good technology -- wouldn't at least 1 of them come forward with undisputed proof?edit on 5-12-2013 by capone1 because: (no reason given)
...........it stands to reason that most people want to believe in something that exists that is greater and/or more intelligent than ourselves. Or, at a minimum, that there is 'something' out 'there' besides ourselves.
We're not alone in the universe -- or so say half of Americans in a new HuffPost/YouGov poll. And a quarter of Americans think that alien visitors have come to Earth.
Our Solar System is part of the Milky Way galaxy, a barred spiral galaxy 100,000–120,000 light-years in diameter containing 200–400 billion stars. It may contain at least as many planets, with an estimated 10 billion of those orbiting in the habitable zone of their parent stars.

Anything claiming Aliens better HAVE Aliens.
I, for one, have yet to see even just one.
Can anyone show me an actual, real, alien; alive, or dead?

Any ET "disclosure" from governments is pointless without disclosure from an ET government.

Don't get me wrong it's only what I think at the moment. Because they are now trying to close the Internet I think because they're afraid that the people are getting more power and freedom of speech.
So communities like these will no longer be able to put the pressure on.
I really love to see this happen but I'm afraid it will take along time and the clock is ticking. ..
